Midwinter 

For many, the holidays are the most heartwarming, comforting time of the year. We’re reminded of what matters most as families and friends gather, reconnect, and spend quality time with one another. 

For others, though, this season reminds them of what they don’t have. It highlights the fact that their family isn’t close anymore, that loss is real and present, and that they feel alone when it shouldn’t have to be that way.

You may find yourself in this position where everyone else seems happy and filled with holiday spirit, but for you, life feels a little bleak and cold. 

Let me remind you that even in the bleakest moments, even when life feels heavy and dark, Jesus is the light and the warmth you need in every moment. If you stop and draw near to Him, He promises to draw near to you. When the things of this world cease to satisfy, He gives a peace that will never, ever leave you, and it’s only found in daily relationship with Him. 

Challenge

Whether life is good or it feels a little bit bleak, pause and draw near to Jesus. Cry out to Him, and be reminded of the peace that you have in Him alone.
